It has been too long since the last Pokitto gamejam! As @FManga has made an excellent new online IDE for Pokitto, we could make some cool games with it :grin:

Please, give your (non binding) opinion, no matter if you are a coder, player or just want to see some Pokitto community action.

I think there are enough “yes” votes that we can say having a MicoJS gamejam is a good idea :slight_smile:

Now we need, at least, to figure out:

  • The theme of the Gamejam
  • The starting time and lenght of the gamejam
  • Possible prizes(?)

Any suggestions?

Your poll is only asking if having a game jam is a good idea. Don’t you think you should ask “Would you participate in a game jam?” ?

To me it looks like it will be a successful gamejam but I can make a new poll if needed.

I will soon make a poll about the gamejam theme. Below are some suggestions from an earlier jam. If you have some theme suggestions, please reply in this thread. Be quick, as after few days I will make the poll.

  • SPACE

  • Time loop. After a given amount of time, the world/scene restarts to the start point.

  • Featuring Pokitto. Make a game where Pokitto is in the main role.

  • Japan. Must involve some aspect of Japanese culture or aesthetics.

  • Mass-Transportation / Travel

  • Winter Games jam - a sports / Olympics theme jam

  • 100% for Kids

  • 3D jam - games based on Anarch 3D engine

  • Cats and dogs

  • Physics. Must include some kind of physics based mechanic.

  • Higher and higher

  • Oceans

  • Text. Must involve reasonably large amounts of text.

  • Joe jam. Make a game where Joe is in the main role.

  • Light - camera - action. Pokitto goes to hollywood

  • Marching penguins

Theme: “On/off”.

This is quite incompatible with micoJS

All the others seems doable and interesting in some way

I’d like to suggest not adding more new themes and picking from the list randomly when starting the jam.

I was going to suggest 2 voting rounds :laughing:

Then maybe do one round for removing any particularly unpopular themes, then dice-roll from what’s left to decide the winner.

  • Featuring Pokitto. Make a game where Pokitto is in the main role.
    I’m a sucker for these types of themes :slight_smile:

  • Higher and higher
    This could have many fun interpretations!
